Nabucco Gas Pipeline International Confirms Nabucco Timeline

Nabucco Managing Director Reinhard Mitschek again confirmed the current Nabucco Timeline. “We are aiming to start with the construction at the end of 2011 and we’ll expect first gas to flow at the end of 2014. The Nabucco Consor-tium has no indication to shift the current timeline.”

Mitschek also stressed, that the Pipeline will be filled step wise. To reach the maximum capacity of 31bcm/y would be expected in the year 2018. “For a large pipeline system like Nabucco it is necessary to raise the capacities stepwise. We’ll start with 8 to 10bcm/y and we need the timeframe from 2014 to 2018 for the construction of additional compressor stations which are the precondition for the plateau level.”
